I get what you mean. Kind of like a tremble, but not a bad one like *cough* Ayumi *cough*

That's a low one man.Ayumi wasn't a natural talent when it came to singing.She had to take lessons come DUTY.She can't change the way she speaks with expression so the nasal singing is gonna be there man.There is really nothing she can do about that.And she has tried.She actually has been pretty good lately.Her natural tone of voice is showing up more in her singing and age is deepening her pitch nicely.
